Christopher,

I am sure everything will be fine with clear margins. I would like to suggest that they schedule you for a 6 month follow up with a scan.

I say this because mine was missed and ended up with 2 occurrence almost year to date. So make sure you have scan done OK.

God bless and take care,
Diane

UPDATES:
Still no news on my path reports....no news is probably good news....at least I hope so!

Pain levels are still a little higher than they were, largely I think due to nubmness n my tongue going away. A better night painwise, but a VERY sleepy day today! Took the dog out for a walk this morning (well aroud the house at least!)

Had some buttered noodles for supper last night.
